Empire State of Mind

Remember back in October, when earth was ravaged by a bitch hurricane called Sandy? Yes? Well, as many of you know, I was suppose to go to New York and have an epic five days with a bunch of incredible ladies that mean the world to me. Of course, we all know how that story ended.

as tragic as it was – I love how eerily beautiful this coaster looks amongst the surf.

If you’re clueless as to how the idea for this trip originated – let me both inform you and possibly freak you out. Years ago, thanks to a woman I don’t like to give credit to, who wrote a book about a sparkly vampire who fell in love with a human – I was introduced to a whole world unlike anything I’d ever known online before – the Twilight fandom.

I know, I know. Take a minute to judge.

Since then – it’s become much less about sparkly vampires and much more about the incredible friendships fused together by the shared love of Twitter and, well, Twilight. I’ve been lucky enough to meet some of the fandom before as well as some of the amazing friends I’ve made because of it – HI KATE!

Tomorrow – I finally get to squeeze friends I’ve made from all over the world. And I’m totally going to cry. And never let go. And it’s going to be perfect.

And it will be EPIC

so many of these to come

So please feel free to follow along on all forms of social media – Twitter and Instagram being the most reliable forms to stalk keep in the know.

Even if you aren’t into people who have friends they met online or New York City.

my thoughts exactly

OH and because I’m addicted to Tumblr (for fangirl purposes) – I started a brand spanking new Tumblr specifically for my Instagram shots and the occasional shot of perfection and bliss I spot on Tumblr.

When you give me a shout-out in a post, I feel all fknwjfjqjkwbanerk inside. And holy shit, I wish I was in NYC with you…go back with me some day (maybe when I visit you on the east coast?!). Cannot wait for our west coast adventures as well.
